Not usually a fan of gold wheels but I must say they look superb. :bowdown:

Some updates
I'm still trying to rid the custom carbon parts and almost there.
Its silly I get more excited doing stupid things like this than the big stuff sometimes lol
wrapped the silver trim round the oem carbon I'm fitting and really like it :roll:

Also using this alcantara gearknob I got till I decide to do with the rs4 one I picked up
Image

Then last night finally removed the red carbon grill surround and fitted the brushed silver.
I'm just waiting on my mirrors now.
I went silver as easily wrapped and people have the choice then when I sell it.
I also fitted the dtm carbon spoiler

It seems like red carbon is like the herpes of the B7 world.

I sprayed the silver bit on my gear stick surround when I wrapped it in white. Looks much better in black i tohught. And fitted an alcantara gaiter too.
Then I noticed how many other switches and trim bits have the silver bit too and it annoyed me.

Selling what mate ?
I'm looking for another rs4 steering wheel so I can change the carbon part, but tbh the full wheel would work in yours
as its retrimmed in black nappa with dark red/burgundy stitch.
